I don't have any problem with cancellation being excluded until it can be 
done right.

I'm guessing that at least some of the time when people ask for thread 
cancellation, there is some other mechanism which will often serve.  If 
that's correct, do we have a write-up of "how to simulate 
thread-cancellation"?  The FAQ entry for cancellation could link to it.
